HOW IT WORKS
Every aesthetic machine relies on one or more of these energy mechanisms.
01
Photons at specific wavelengths absorbed by chromophores (melanin, hemoglobin, water) for selective tissue heating.
02
Alternating current (1β10 MHz) causes molecular friction, generating controlled heat that contracts collagen and stimulates new growth.
03
Mechanical sound waves (20kHzβ10MHz) for thermal coagulation (HIFU), fat disruption (cavitation), or product delivery.
04
Direct/pulsed current stimulates muscles (EMS), opens cell membranes (electroporation), or drives ions into skin (galvanic).

Take the QuizFAQ
IPL emits broad-spectrum light (500β1200nm) β versatile but less targeted. Laser emits a single precise wavelength optimized for a specific chromophore. Lasers are more powerful and efficient for permanent results; IPL is more affordable for home devices.
